My comment wasn't intended to determine whether the scrollbar would be
placed left or right (since scrollbars also appear on the bottom), but
where in the box model it's placed (ie. between the border-edge and
margin, between the padding-edge and border etc).
Currently UA's place the scrollbar differently and this seems something
that should be changed.
